Corker, Alexander legacy will be one of knuckling to gun lobby

Just two days after the bombings at the Boston Marathon, the U.S. Senate has made the next tragedy much more likely.

Tennessee Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker were among 42 other who voted yesterday to make it easier for criminals and mentally ill people to buy firearms as they voted against common sense background checks and the will of over 80 percent of America.

These two politicians said in a loud and clear voice that the special interest money and influence of groups like the National Rifle Association mean more to them than keeping our children and loved ones safe.

The Senate used to be the world's greatest deliberative body. Today, it is nothing but an exclusive club with a grand title hiding the pitiful self-interests of equivocating cowards like Alexander and Corker. Shame on you both. Enjoy your legacy.
